was decorated with flags and tri-
coIored bunting. On ~ flag staff was
a large box of Horner's Tar Salve.
Colorcd jubilee singers sang popular
songs of the day and plantation dit
ties.
One of the most attractive features
in the parade was the artistic dis
play of Mr.. Otto Hairy, the proprie-
tor of the Model One Price Clothing
Store. The platform on his wagon
represented clothing store, and on
this he illustrated in very amusing
way the old phrase Of, "shust like the
paper on the WALL One of his en-
ployes acted as the clothier trying to
fit green looking customer to
coat II sizes too large for him, and
the manner in which it was done for
chilly reminded us of the fact that
friend Otto turns out better fits than
his colleague, who on being told by a
would-be-purchaser that the coat was
way to large, assured the patron that
if his wife would see him in the coat
his bosom would swell with pride,
would swell so much that she would
have to set the buttons forward.
Otto seems to Get there everytime.
Small & Co., the large lumber and
roofing firm at the old sash factory,
as usual, were foremost in display
ing their business. They had two
large wagons in the parade, one bear
ing good sized house, IN which work
men were busily engaged in making
window sashes, fiooriag, etc, the
other wagon contained the stating
department, and at each favorable
opportunity, the men would go
through the naodus oper0ndi of roof
ing the house The wagons looked
quite pretty, and the firm added still
more to its popularity by the inter-
est it manifested in the days dem
onstration.
Among the finest exhibits in the
trades display on the 4th, was that
Of the Star Grocery, A. S. Goulden,
proprietor. A beautiful, new "Pied-
mont" wagon drawn by two fine ca
parisoned bay horses, contained a
number of fine Coffees, Teas, and
other fancy groceries, in the midst
of which arose a pyramid covered
with fitting emblems of his business,
while at the top stood real live
figure, representing the Goddess Of
Liberty" wearing golden, starry
crown, holding in her hand an up
lifted sword, signifying ever vigil
ant in business. The goddess was
represented by Master Joseph West,
Jr., who stood like statue indeed.
